by VuTrongPhung (Author), ShaunKingsleyMalarney (Translator)
What does it mean when a city of 180,000 people has more than 5,000 women working as prostitutes? This question frames V? Tr?ng Ph?ng's 1937 classic reportage L?c Xi. Drawing from his interviews with doctors, officials, and prostitutes and the writings of French doctors on prostitution and venereal disease, Ph?ng provides a rare, firsthand look at the damage caused by the commercial sex industry.
